The speed that you get through your rj45's depends on the quality of the cable used, both 'in the wall' and from the socket to your device. For 1Gb/sec they need to be cat 5e or better.
I only use cat 7, it says cat 7 on the Orange cable
Doesn't mean shit if the RJ 45 doesn't support it or is hooked up incorrectly or if the cable has some kink somewhere resulting in a lose connection or if the patch cable between the laptop and the RJ 45 is bad or the RJ 45 or patch panel on the other side is bad or the internal cable loops a hundred times around the house before getting hooked up or the cable has faulty shielding and is next to some other cables.
That's all I could think of off the top of my head.
You got downvoted but you are correct. I had to re-crimp more than half of the cables in my house. Before I did, whoever worked was gimped at 100mbps.
